When the Kelly Arkansas department of corrections. I have with me Solomon grace chief of staff Tammy Williams our chief financial officer and treat the Funderburk are procurement manager. A I don't thank god we will need we but. We were having a little bit of a slow day and what went on so all this contract not I don't have a problem with that. The this amendment for the next years about two million what I am interested in in them sorry field covered is in any other committees but if you can give us a short synopsis of kinda what your dealer when I know we all had a extreme challenge with the co with epidemic what I'm focusing on is budget wise we're here to end of the year this contract for next year What do you over to see your have you a view then any planning for needing additional funds is any of the things that you have recoverable from these federal dollars I thank us so we did put money in out of the gears act I think into a can you get give us just a little bit update we're all right yesterday's the committee voted to recommend about three hundred and thirty one thousand and reimbursable FOR the department that was for things that were at PP that was on that pre approved list as well as about a hundred and seventy thousand dollars and coded testing and a few other minor items we did ask for Our budget cut for twenty one back and that was denied that was about. Four point eight for community correction someone point eight for the division of corrections. So we are looking at. Other avenues certifying some cash funds to make it through that fiscal year twenty one but we have had an outbreak of the virus at the Cummins unit at the Randall Williams unit impossible off. This week at the east Arkansas regional unit and Grimes in Newport and then this morning at the Wrightsville unit we have five positives there. So we are continuing to see the virus I do think the mask work. With our staff the number of positive is greatly reduced. When I visit the units the staff are wearing their masking wearing them correctly. The inmates when they're out of the Berrics are wearing them but in the barracks where there may be fifty of them and they're they're not really where and when they're and they're together sub one person in there comes out positive they were gonna see that spread. We have learned a lot since Commons and so we're able to respond more quickly now. And so that's kind of where we are right with the virus and with the budget and less miss Williams wants to add anything. What a. The only monies that you're gonna get there's not a discrimination it's going to come through the anything other than the state appropriation is that correct yes Sir. States to get any monies because excessive outbreaks and and our correctional facilities yes and that's what I worry known to bring you up and just let you update the committee on because I didn't know either but I think we need to be aware and you don't have a choice you you've got to deal with it every day but besides employees the inmates or like you said the the infection rate. Just wrapped up quickly and and that's a car on a no financially where you're at you could burn up excess amount of your budget. Early in the next year could you not yes Sir we obviously are having over time. And there's just a lot more to do with moving the inmates and trying to separate them among the Berrics. So. It it's gonna be a rough year I think financially for us good and of this. Morning to share some of that because that that's that's what I see Kevin and and I did not know that you'd requested the budget cut back and I can see the need for and we've got that money everywhere but it's not relieve the in thing it yoga choice with so we should the best all that I wish you would keep the committees are or some of us apprised may be ahead of time were is were before going into the next year session thank you going to affect the back into the years going to be a possibly tough flu If you communication would be welcome thank you so much thank you senator.

U. a system It just seems to my recollection that we're talking around three million dollars for that but this says that the five million dollar deal. Could you go into a little bit more detail on on how much it actually is going to cost and are we done with that. four three million or we still expecting more to be it expended yes Sir the original amount of the contract the initial build was three million dollars we wrote the A. R. their outline agreement for five million so that's why you're saying five million in your package because of at the time that the contract was written we expected some ongoing maintenance some potential additional development and maintenance and operations through the end of the P. U. a program which lasts until December twenty seventh the twenty seventh of twenty twenty however we design the a to go through June of twenty twenty one in case the federal government extended the program so we wanted to be proactive and make sure that we you know built that contract to where we would have to scramble at the last minute again to get services in place. So so you're not entirely sure exactly how much it's going to end up costing the and currently we are in negotiations about on going operations for the P. U. a system which would last six months starting in July through the end of the program and those estimates we have estimates on what it would cost it's around three point six million dollars additional to go for twelve additional months so if you cut that in half we're looking at about one point seven one point eight million dollars to get us through the end of the year which would get us to that five million dollar mark that that's on top of three million dollars original bill that's correct and those are just estimates right now again we're in negotiations about what that is maintenance and operations is going to cost going forward have they given us any discount for messing up. A no Sir we're still evaluating that piece the the initial build is still under way we have two more modules that we're working on that have to be completed in the next month or so and then we're going to get into those conversations. Thank you thank you Mr thank you US Senator hammer you're recognized thank you. Refresh my memory could keep a straight is this is this the program that allowed us to to pay out unemployment to the to the self employed or is that what we're talking about yes Sir that's correct okay so we purchasing just the software or we purchasing the rights or what exactly are we purchasing with the contract this is a software as a service contract which means we're paying for a service that allows us to use the software. As far as the operation of it though that's going to be by our employees or by employees of your division. Yes Sir it's a when you say operations you mean the the eligibility determination workers right the actual yes Sir we it's a combination we have state staff DWS staff and the debate or excuse me DFA staff that are working the software yes on the operation side okay and I know we hope this never happens again that we've got to repeat this but it's going to be a lot of valuable software and data so long term maintenance are they looking at maybe lower the price of this you know if they don't extended we get out from underneath the air that we're in right now would there would the cost to maintain the software keep it current so in the event three four years down the road something like this happen again we wouldn't have to reach reinvent the wheel a re started up. Yes Sir that's the expectation the the idea is that once the software stabilized and there's minimal changes in the future that the software licensing will cost less. Thank you.
